But yes, you do have to use new springs/retainers.
And there IS the possibility that there might not be enough valve relief on the piston dome. Possibly.

What about your tune after the headers/cam install?
I'm really interested in that.
Thanks.
Awesome build.

Thx

The tune was updated by Randy at EPIC, a while back. Ive had the parts at my place for a while, at least 6 months. I updated the tune via my lappy when I got the car home, (small drive from shop kept it slow.. ran ok.. ) updated the tune. Took about an hour. Started her up and straight away it sounded different.. big grin on face.. strapped myself into the car and went for a Drive.. ran beautifully.. no issues. And the car just want to pull and pull.. the sound... Intoxicating... Just awesome.. I have to do a few kms before going a dyno as I need to run it in a bit.. but yeah.. very, very happy.. grinning from ear to ear..

Looking forward to your comments, input on the Besian stuff.

Thanks heaps Chris,

The beasian stuff is pretty straight forward, but suprisingly, the guy who worked on my car said the seals and pump disc that were on there before were all in great condition. They die tested (ndt) the tabs and they were perfect. The engine looks great for the amount of miles thats on it. His words, not mine.

The car does pull very hard now, but not sure if that's because of the vanos, cams or Power pulley, or combo off..

Thx Matt, but can't take the credit for that. Glad you like it, does look great in RL.

Just bought this for shifting with race gloves on.

Thankssss! It will be very helpful since the car goes in the indie within the next two weeks for the updates!

[Vanne]

Due to 2 other guys on this site, I've had a re-think on the Jafster/shifter plan.

*updates to follow*

[Vanne]

so this is where it will roughly go, need to sort alternate fixing for Hazzard lights switch.

Guess those pictures are in reverse. Esthetically it still needs to be fixed up a little, trimings and such in place. But practically I am just lost for words.. it might seem a bit hardcore, but just 1 minute driving and you would be sold. No more gear denials, no more wondering what gear that is and hoping it's not 2nd.. just really , really nice..


EDIT:: added a picture of custom made DSSR..

[longress]

Awesome! I like the shorter height you fabbed, the original height seems just a tad extreme.

[Vanne]

The latest addition. Bought from a mate in the US. VSDC
Thanks Chris.









Fingers crossed it gets to my place in one piece…

There's a mag doing a spread in a week or 2, hopefully get some nice pics from that. And hopefully the parts arrive in time for the shoot.

Cheers for the kind words mate.

Thx mate, hopefully no dramas with the freight. Kinda loving the car atm. Though tough doing work on it while the kids are hanging out to go swimming with the old man.

Quality time due when parts get here
